Re: California Kingsnakes now established in the Canary Isla
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder, if the kingsnake population was left untouched for some time, would the wild phenotype regain the majority over albinos.
I am guessing the albinos are numerous because most of the kingsnakes released were albinos.
It is an interesting case.
